feat(install): add pre-flight environment and disk-target validation
archangel went straight from filesystem selection into a destructive install behind only a root check and a ZFS module load. A missing tool, a BIOS boot, a too-small or in-use disk, or a dead network surfaced as a confusing abort partway through, sometimes after partitioning had already run. Two gates now fail fast. validate_environment runs after filesystem selection, before any disk is touched: it confirms UEFI boot mode and that every required command is present, with the list coming from a new required_commands helper built like pacstrap_packages. validate_install_targets runs after disk selection, before the first wipe: it refuses a target that's mounted, holds active swap, or belongs to an imported pool or md array, rejects disks under 20 GB, and confirms a mirror is reachable via DNS plus a TCP probe (no ICMP, since some networks drop it). I folded the install_failure_cleanup hardening into the same change. It now falls back to lazy unmounts, so a pacstrap-interrupted target with busy bind mounts still releases the pool and unmounts the EFI partition. Without that, the disk-in-use guard would block the very retry the cleanup exists to enable. "Re-run to retry" only holds if the disk is genuinely freed first. The 20 GB floor is decimal on purpose. It reads as the natural minimum and clears a 20 GiB disk image with headroom instead of sitting on the boundary.
